"One Small Drop"

I gave one small drop
Of help, to someone
I don't even know.
To someone, I don't
Even want to know.
To someone, I don't
Even want to sit
Next to on the bus.
But that one small drop
Counts. And now, I know it.

"Old Rock"


Hot you are wood grained old rock
Colored green and gray shattered smoothness
Vibrating universe echoing down the ages
Before brain during brain after brain
Rorschachian majesty butterflies pelvis
Thought catalyst thought unperceived
Dinosaur witness god bone silent
Unowned bought sold
Languid beauty young dust atomic rigidity
Soluble water barrier sky climber
Do you know me?
aged majesty

"Old Tape"

Voices of uncertainty whisper
And an old tape plays
" I feel a ruff reality
so make it go away! "

"Now never ending"


The now never ending here again
       We blink it to pieces
Unknowing        and substance upon shards
       Of human artifice

To much        to much to hold
       Our skills discerning meager!
No room left we fill up
       So much truth the beggar

"Nothing Similar"


I see the universe crammed into a skull
It doesn't fit man!
I see fragments teeny tiny fragments parading
Around as ego god-hoods universal monarchs
Creating importance me my i we this that
Anything
From out fear and trembling sense sation
Through perception of the truth underneath
Big! Really Really Big! Vast Huge Gargantuan!
Wow! i can't see me any more lost mote
Crushed under the heal of the wheel
Or so it feels as i makes it so
Function mode growth essential
Not permanent wave goodbye to
Psychic excess forms so many
Patterns grab attention strong stuff
Conditioning
Moving feet heart breath mind
The house rots is burning or perhaps lovingly
Is put aside for nothing similar
